Not just a hotel, Zilwa Attitude is more of an experience, embracing the life of the islanders. With a relaxed village feel, it is packed with authentic Mauritian experiences so you’ll truly feel like one of the natives after a week or two here. In a beautiful location, overlooking endless stretches of sandy beach and with stunning views of no less than five islands, it is a slice of heaven. Just a few minutes away by boat, or a short paddle, is Grand Zil where you can while away a few hours on a lounger and perhaps tuck in to a barbecue lunch — or enjoy a rejuvenating massage on the smaller Ti Zil. Rooms are inspired from traditional seaside bungalows and are contemporary in design but rustic too with rough white-washed walls and brushed cement floors. Embracing bright colours, there's a choice of room types, as well as family rooms, apartments and suites by the sea. Book a treatment at the world-class spa and take some time to chill on a day bed in the relaxation garden whilst listening to the twitter of birdsong. As you kick back, the little ones will be kept happy at the kids' club, with a fun garden, a games room and a large boat to explore and escape the sun ! There are seven restaurants at Zilwa, offering cuisines from European to Creole, Indian and Asian, and the All Inclusive dine-around experience means you can discover wonderful varied meals each day of your stay.

Currently on a 2 week holiday, the hotel is amazing, clean, friendly, plenty of sunbeds around. The hotel has a lovely island where. You can enjoy a bbq lunch. You are able to go out on a pedlo, kayak, windsurf, stand up paddle board, glass bottom boat and snorkelling trip all included in all inclusive. Naraja was our bar man on the beach, always kept us topped up with drinks throughout the day and knew our order which was nice. The evening bar staff in the reception bar were amazing, so friendly and would genuinely be interested in what you had done during the day. A bit shout out to Ayush for naming a drink after me ‘Dawn’ and to Satyam and Niraj for always knowing the order we have our drink in. You are personable and your love of the job doesn’t go unrecognised. The 3 amigos should be recognised for their service and friendliness to all the guests. They are very proud of their bar, keeping it spotlessly clean with a great service.

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by a warm, attentive team who set the tone for an exceptional evening. The bar team (Satyam, Ayush, Kush, Avinash and Danny) ensured that our glasses were always filled and they showed great hospitality at all times. I would highly recommend Zilwa for your holiday stay.
From Mr & Mrs Gowrea.
Good experience
